The first modern Briton had “dark to black” skin, groundbreaking new analysis of his 10,000-year-old remains has revealed.

Britain’s oldest complete skeleton, known as Cheddar Man, was unearthed more than a century ago in Gough’s Cave in Somerset.

But an unprecedented examination of his DNA, along with a facial reconstruction of the fossil, shows the young man would have had a darker complexion than previously thought, along with blue eyes and dark, curly hair.

The problem with finding the 'oldest' skeletons of long lost peoples is they are only the oldest until an older one gets found and finding bones let alone complete skeletons is rarer than rocking horse shit.

And anyway is it any real surprise? I mean as modern archeological thought has always maintained that modern man originated in Africa then it stands to reason they'd have pigmented skin to protect them from the sun.

I don't know of any modern black humans who have blue eyes and I note they don't say whether the rest of the skeleton has the same characteristics of modern black people.

So to try and make this arguable finding into some sort of racial issue is pointless and really quite pathetic.

So it seems any reaction other than jumping for joy is racist. You can’t be ambivalent or shrug and say ‘Hmm interesting but nothing groundbreaking’ or you’re clearly an evil racist. This is what passes for logic in the minds of SJW freaks.

Another intelligent contribution from someone who is hiding behind the skirts of anonymity.

They(SJWs) are literally braindead Mungo. All they are capable of doing is screeching ‘racist, sexist, and homophobe’ at everything and everyone. They couldn’t begin to formulate an actual argument if their lives depended on it.

In all honesty this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Nor does it indicate that the white man ravaged Britain and killed all the black people, or forced them back to Africa. For all we know they could have come via the Med or Spain as the ice thawed. Everyone in Britain at the time came from the south, as the ice meant Britain was empty.

Next week we'll discover that it was actually trans and many genders. Followed a week later by how much more he earned than his wife.

Very interesting. I'm not entirely sure why they've called him the 'first modern Briton'. Is there evidence to suggest he was typical of the population at that time? 90% of white Britons don't share his ancestry. I'll have to watch the documentary.
